Loch Leven (Fife): Boxing Day views

 Loch Leven with the mist and low cloud lifting

On Boxing Day morning the mist soon came down along with some misling rain. However by mid-morning it started to lift and the sun came out lighting up the Loch and the surrounding farm land.

Much of today in Fife was foul with heavy rain. However, just at dusk it cleared up a bit with the sky lit up by the setting sun.
